Amazing, food was really tasty and there are so much options to choose from and the workers are so nice and helpful. Will go again with friends :) Price is really good too, you get a very large portion size and the sauce bar was very nice to have. Cheaper then hot pot

I recently visited this restaurant and tried their stir-fried noodles, and I was blown away! The dish was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The noodles had that delightful chewy texture, complemented by tender chicken and a mix of vegetables that added a nice crunch. I also appreciated the generous portion size, making it great value for money. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're a fan of Asian cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I can't wait to come back for more!

We saw Yangguofu Malatang on TikTok and thought we would come and try it for ourselves. On entry, our server was friendly and asked if we had dined here before. She showed us what we had to do - there are two fridges filled to the brim with amazing foods you can include in your bowl. It is priced by weight. It is £3.19 per 100g and is weighed at the till. You have the choice of 3 broths! We went for the beef bone broth - medium spiced. It was delicious! There’s also a section for dipping sauces - the peanut sauce is to die for! 5/5 - would definitely recommend to others!

Been meaning to go here for a while and I highly recommend especially for people who love spicy food. I picked a medium spicy beef bone broth and it was great. Ordering is simple, pick a bowl up and tongs, pick what meat and veg you want from the fridges and pick and pay for what soup base you want.

With a variety of vegetables and different food selections, everyone in the family can find their choices. I am a vegan and especially expect the food to be fresh and timely, I can find different vegetables and a range of wholesome foods here. I like the black rice noodles. If you are on a special diet, you can choose not to have the soup base by asking the staff to boil the vegetables and meat for you. The tomato soup base is suitable for kids and light tastes. There are spicy soup bases suitable for those who fancy savory taste. Our whole family enjoys the Malatang here!

Just tried Yang Guo Fu on Percy Street and honestly loved it! What makes it so good is you don’t just order off a menu – you actually go up, pick all your own fresh ingredients (loads of choice: veggies, meats, noodles, tofu, etc.) and then choose how you want it cooked. It feels really fun and personalised, and everything tasted super fresh. I went for the spicy broth which had just the right kick. Perfect for anyone who loves trying something a bit different or likes to customise their meal exactly how they want it. Definitely recommend if you’re around town and fancy something tasty, filling and a bit interactive! Will be back for sure.

The best Malatang in Newcastle! I love how clean and neat this place is! super tasty as well🤤 I think It’d be easier for those who haven’t try Chinese spice before as it’s not really strong flavour. Plus, unlimited rice 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

Fantastic food, customisable to your own tastes and with fantastic service. The selection of ingredients is impressive and means there is something for everyone, although the price-by-weight model means that your meal can get expensive quickly if you don't think about what you're ordering. I've only tried the mild spicy bone broth base, although as a spice-lightweight I certainly wouldn't go any spicier than this! Gluten free and vegetarian ingredients are clearly labelled, and a solid drink selection.

Fresh ingredients, authentic soup flavour and the restaurant is modern and clean. I really wish they had sweetheart cabbage available. However, overall, I was super satisfied with the food and happy to see this brand finally in Newcastle. Best malatang in the North East, by far!
